QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 26, 2012 -> 01:10 PM)  After 1 and 2, what an awful list. Louie at 3? His show went from a must-watch to an "eh, I guess we don't have anything else on the DVR list." Girls is awful, I still don't see the love for that show after giving it three episodes. Boardwalk is way too low, that's one of the best shows on TV right now. I like the love for Archer, but no The League or Sunny? The League has been dynamite and Sunny, while not as good as it once was, is still better than Bob's Burgers. |

I gave Children's Hospital a watch once and couldn't stand it. |

While I can agree there may be a couple of head scratchers on their list but The League and Sunny on the best of 2012 list? Ha! Mediocre television at best. You can't tell me that as as you were watching Ruxin, Taco, and the boys running around the Cowboys training facility like keystone cops you were thinking "wow, this is some of the best television out there right now!"

You can't tell me that as as you were watching Ruxin, Taco, and the boys running around the Cowboys training facility like keystone cops you were thinking "wow, this is some of the best television out there right now!" Well sure, every show has cringe-worthy parts. Every Leslie/Ben scene in Parks and Rec is like that. But the episode with Rafi at the pool was easily the funniest episode of television this year. I'm not sure anything can top it. And just about every other episode has been solid. |

Don't get me wrong. I thoroughly enjoy The League and Sunny but they're just poorly written, inconsistent comedies right now. For every laugh out loud moment there's at least one cringe inducing moment in each episode, especially with The League. It frustrates the hell out of me since it has the potential to be outstanding.

I thought The League took a pretty huge step backwards this season. |

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 27, 2012 -> 06:00 PM) I thought The League took a pretty huge step backwards this season. The shows premised on dudes arguing gets pretty old after a while, and it seems like they try to compensate by leading their plots into the absurd. With Sunny, 3 out of every 5 scenes, and sometimes whole episodes, come off as bad sketch comedy. |

Started Homeland last weekend. Just finished episode 6 of season 1 last night. So far so good.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Dec 25, 2012 -> 10:45 PM) Interesting Doctor Who episode tonight. I'm intrigued as always. Anyone else watch? I am really liking Oswin. I thought it would be hard to replace Pond, like it was with Rose, but Im thinking Oswin may do the trick. |

Usually the Christmas episode is a feel-good show that is basically non-canon. QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 29, 2012 -> 01:47 AM) I am really liking Oswin.

I'm wondering about her character as well, knowing what we know of her and her uniqueness. |

Very sad to see that Leverage got canceled. EXCELLENT final episode. My wife was in tears when she thought they all died.

Loved season one of Homeland. Just started season two and it's already seeming a bit contrived. After 8 years of training and the mission failing, I'd figure Brody would need to be killed off by Al Qaeda. It didn't seem believable that Abu Nazir would agree to let him lay low and infiltrate the administration in order to "influence policy“. You'd think he would start to question his loyalty after failing to complete his mission. And who cares if he killed Tom Walker. That didn't prove anything.
